Goyder Council Councillors & Staff, the Eudunda Community Business & Tourism Committee (ECBAT) & the Robertstown & District Community Management Committee are ensuring that the maximum possible impact & interaction is gained from these projects in the local communities from Burra to Eudunda by connecting the contractors of each project to the local labour force, accommodation & food providers & other businesses. This is being done as a community service project with Mel Zerner, a former local Eudunda resident, who is voluntarily assisting Goyder Council and the other community groups in this initiative.
If you have any questions on the status of any of the above projects or their local requirements, please contact Mel on Mobile 0418852353 or through the web form below
